<p>I'm looking for a good college somewhere in the southwest (CA, NM, TX, UT, AZ, CO, NV). But a college that also has a Swim Program.</p>

<p>My Times:
50 Free- 23.47
100 Free- 53.53</p>

<p>I have only been swimming for 1 year so I was wondering if I could get a scholarship into any schools with the above stats. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. :)
Thanks.</p>

<p>if those are meter times, which is pretty damn difficult for only swimming one year.</p>

<p>I would go to the athletic site of any schools you are interested in and email the coaches of the swim team with your times etc.</p>

<p>Kenyon is an excellent LAC that dominates Division III Swimming but it is in Ohio.</p>

<p>you can get listing of schools with NCAA teams at the NCAA site … [NCAA</a> - National Collegiate Athletic Association](<a href=“http://www.ncaa.org/wps/portal/!ut/p/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLN4j3CQXJgFjGpvqRqCKOcAFfj_zcVH1v_QD9gtzQiHJHRUUAc0tpTA!!/delta/base64xml/L3dJdyEvUUd3QndNQSEvNElVRS82XzBfTFU!?CONTENT_URL=http://www2.ncaa.org/portal/sports/winter/swimming_and_diving/mens/index.html]NCAA”>http://www.ncaa.org/wps/portal/!ut/p/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLN4j3CQXJgFjGpvqRqCKOcAFfj_zcVH1v_QD9gtzQiHJHRUUAc0tpTA!!/delta/base64xml/L3dJdyEvUUd3QndNQSEvNElVRS82XzBfTFU!?CONTENT_URL=http://www2.ncaa.org/portal/sports/winter/swimming_and_diving/mens/index.html) … this is the link to the men’s teams … there are 3 divisions DI, DII, and DIII with very different recruiting and scholarship rules for each division.</p>

<p>Highly unlikely those are meter times - if they were, he’d know what swim schools are out there because they’d be recruiting him.</p>

<p>To the OP:
While your times are impressive for swimming only one year, you’re unlikely go get a swimming scholarship at any DI or DII schools (and DIII schools don’t offer athletic scholarships). I’d even say that you’d be hard-pressed to be a walk-on. Most scholarship swimmers at those institutions are Senior National level swimmers – and at the very least, junior national. So you’re looking at cutting about 2+ seconds off your 50 and 6+ seconds off your 100 to even be in the lower range of what some of them are looking for.
Good luck.</p>
